A close friend announced her engagement after knowing her fiancé for just over a year. The fiancé is extremely wealthy, providing financial security that would allow her to stop working. The observer perceives the fiancé as dull and mismatched with the friend both intellectually and physically. The couple appears to share no common interests or compatibility. The short courtship and sharp contrast with the friend's usual preferences raise concern that financial considerations may be influencing the decision to commit. The situation generates surprise and worry about whether the friend is settling.
